Novell uses it at their site. The command below should emulate the behaviour
of their login-form (with an non existing username/password):

curl -k --trace-ascii out.txt -i -L -v
https://www.novell.com/ICSLogin/auth-up -d context=default -d
proxypath=reverse -d username=user -d password=pw -d message=Log -d
url=http://www.novell.com/nps/

It only returns "curl: (52) Empty reply from server"
